HARC and the museum sites have been closed since 5 November 2020 in line with regulations enforcing the 2nd national lockdown in England.

Under the government’s new tiered system for managing Covid-19, coming into effect from 2 December 2020, Herefordshire has been placed in tier 2. The Department of Health and Social Care published guidance on 23 November 2020 outlining what activities are permissible in each tier. A link is below

These state ‘businesses and venues can continue to operate, in a COVID-19 secure manner, other than those which remain closed by law’, meaning HARC and the Museum sites can re-open.

The sites covered by this decision have been signed off as COVID-19 secure for the service that they are delivering. The sites were operating according to those guidelines before this lockdown and will return to doing so from 2 December.

Opening hours for each site for the coming weeks will be advertised accordingly.
